Good afternoon,


We are continuing to make posts through the weekend to continue to provide transparency regarding issues reported through the #「📩」support channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord[discord.gg]. Studio Sirens remains dedicated to providing updates daily as issues are being logged or addressed.


Our top priority remains to fix an issue with the game engine on the live version of ARK: Survival Evolved (360.1) ; proving to be complex, a solution continues to be developed in order to address mods from instantly crashing and we look forward to posting an update when possible. Once this specific issue is addressed, only then will the team be able to chase down specific mods with issues that may require an update with the updated devkit.

  • We are looking into issues that relate to shader issues built into the engine


  • We have been able to identify content that was pushed to the base game that may be conflicting with mods


To continue to remind everyone of the current solution, the team was able to push a pre-aquatica release version of A.S.E. This allowed people to return and play a version of the game before the launch of ARK: Aquatica and progress has and will continue to be made to address lingering issues.


The branch is called "preaquatica". To navigate to the branch:


  • Right Click ARK: Survival Evolved in your Steam Library


  • Click Properties


  • Betas


  • Beta participation


  • Opt into "preaquatica" branch

The branch is available for clients and dedicated servers now.


Current issues being tested for this incoming Monday (7/21)

  • Takifugu textures disappearing when Takifugu takes damage


  • Angler boss death animation
